Don’t be afraid to have fun with the mix and match approach, especially when it comes to mixing prints. Surfer girls are known for their unique approach to mixing patterns and prints and are often always wearing colorful swimwear as they ride a wave or hang out on the beach. You can top off the mix and match bikini with a long unbuttoned denim shirt and denim shorts for a relaxed day look or wear a light summer dress over your bikini for a night out.
You can find surfer gear at your local surf shop or online surf shops.
You can also look for cozy sweaters and chunky knits at the thrift store or the mall, a good look for colder nights on the beach. You can then pair a cozy sweater with jeans or shorts for a relaxed, surfer girl look.
You can also combine a bold graphic t-shirt with jeans or shorts or wear a floral print top with a brightly colored bottom. Don’t be afraid to wear lots of color and if you decide to wear black, jazz it up with a brightly colored sweater or bold accessories.
Ankle boots in brown or burgundy can also be a fun way to dress up an outfit and give it a bit of edge, especially if you are wearing a lot of flowy floral items. Combat boots with laces can also be a good option as an alternative to sandals for when the weather gets cold at night.
Wide brim hats are also popular with surfer girls, often made of felt or cotton. No surfer girl look would be complete without sunglasses, usually in an aviator style or with thick, colorful frames.
You can also make the surfer girl look appear more dressy by wearing accessories like long necklaces or earrings to jazz up a more casual outfit.
Begin with damp hair, perhaps right after a shower. Form a rectangle with your hair at the front of your head. The rectangle should extend from the end of one eyebrow to the end of the other eyebrow and four inches back from your hairline. Spray a volumizer spray on the roots of your hair. Use a round brush to blow-dry your hair straight up to create a tousled look. Once your hair is dry, twist the rectangle section around three fingers so it forms a pin curl and pin it with a bobby pin. Allow the section to cool as you spray salt spray on the rest of your hair and tousle it with your fingers to get a beachy look. Unpin the pin curl and apply dry shampoo to the roots of the rectangle section. Then, flip most of the section to one side and form a side part that begins at the arch of your eyebrow and angles back towards the crown of your head. You should have one big swoop on one side and a small swoop on the other side.
Use damp hair or apply two dollops of styling mousse to dry air. Apply the mousse from the roots to the end of your dry hair so it is easier to style. Flip your hair over and use a blow dryer to roughly blow it out using your fingers. Make sure there are no stiff pieces and the mousse is dry. If your hair is damp, you can skip this step. While still upside down, gather your hair together in a ponytail at the top of your head. Secure the ponytail with a hair tie and flip your head back up. Split the ponytail into two sections and twist each section until they twist together. Secure the hair at the base of your ponytail with bobby pins. Spray the top knot with salt spray, tousling it with your fingers for a messy look.
Begin with damp hair and apply a leave in conditioner so your hair is shiny and ready for styling. Then, gather up your hair so it is on one side of your head. [9] X Research source Braid your hair, moving from the middle section of your hair down to one side of your head. Keep the braid fairly tight for now, securing it with a hair tie. Use your fingers to mess up the braid a little, gently tugging on parts of the braid so it looks messy but remains secure. Finish with hairspray so the braid stays put all night long. If you have short hair, you can opt for a choppy razor haircut and use a matte styling cream if you prefer.
You can apply a more bold eye make up look for going out at night by applying a thin layer of eyeliner and glittery eye shadow. You can finish the night out look with a darker lipstick.
Apply bronzing powder with a big make up brush, swiping some on your hairline, temples, chin, and jawline. You can also apply it under your cheekbones by making small circles with the brush. You can then apply bronzer to the areas on your neck and chest that tend to get hit by the sun, including your collarbones, your shoulders, and your shins.
Always wear sunscreen when you are outside in the sun or make sure your tinted moisturizer contains SPF.
